Description
Crispy, chewy, and delightfully gooey, these Cheesy Sweet Potato Mochi balls combine mashed sweet potato, rice flour, and mozzarella with a savory-sweet glaze for the ultimate comfort snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 315g sweet potato, peeled and steamed
- 150g rice flour
- Mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes (for filling)
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp honey (optional)
Instructions
- Steam sweet potatoes until soft, then mash until smooth.
- Gradually mix in rice flour until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
- Cut mozzarella into small cubes for filling.
- Flatten a piece of dough, place mozzarella in the center, and seal tightly into a ball.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat with a little oil. Fry mochi balls until golden and slightly crispy on all sides.
- Mix oyster sauce and honey in a bowl to create the glaze.
- Brush the warm mochi with glaze, let it set for a glossy finish, and serve hot while the cheese is gooey.
Notes
- Steam, don’t boil, the sweet potatoes for a better dough texture.
- Seal the mochi tightly to prevent cheese leakage while frying.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the glaze.
- Reheat leftovers in an air fryer or skillet to restore crispiness.
